I’m deeply curious about AI, technology, and how they can truly help people and the planet — not by replacing human effort, but by amplifying creativity, empathy, and problem-solving. Graduating from Sunnyside, a self-directed and hands-on learning environment, shaped how I think and work: by exploring, experimenting, and learning through real experiences. At heart, I’m a tinkerer who loves taking things apart, fixing what’s broken, and building ideas into something useful. From computers and cars to community projects, I find joy in understanding how things work — and how they can work better. As a facilitator, I lead “Would You Build It?”, a woodworking program for children (8–12) where carpentry meets creativity, design thinking, and math. As an author, I’ve written: -The Hidden Wild — exploring urban ecology and our connection with nature. -The Hidden Ones — highlighting the wisdom of local communities and their role in climate resilience. I’m fascinated by how humans think, learn, and create — and how technology, when used thoughtfully, can nurture those very qualities. Deeply curious about how people learn and think — especially how children develop empathy, creativity, and problem-solving through interaction with their environment. Driven by curiosity and empathy, I’m always exploring new intersections between craft, code, and community to make ideas tangible and meaningful.
